Very rude. Tries to downplay your symptoms and argues with you when you advocate for yourself. Will not visit again.

As a current senior medical student I assure you that she is an example of what not to do. I had to educate her about diff diseases as she just does not know what she is doing yet she got 16 years of experience on me. Yea.. She didn't like that :) . Anything beyond a simple cold is too complicated for her to grasp.

Cold, rude, not very knowledgeable. And just plain mean. Avoid at all costs.

GWU SHS has a organized system with ease of use. However, Dr. Schultz was very cold and lacked a professional level of communication.

Literally the worst doctor I've ever seen. Was incredibly rude, rolled her eyes at me for the most common questions (i.e. "Do I continue taking this after my symptoms have ended?"). I've had no issue with any of the other doctors I've seen at the GWU Student Health Services Center. Schultz is just awful.
